So… umm these are taken from the Iphone at night… I have come to the conclusion that I won’t be selling all of my canon gear and becoming an exclusive Iphone camera user…
Allow me to make introductions… This is Peter Read Miller and around him are those pesky yet wonderful Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders… I have to say I smiled every time I got hit with the pom-poms… The game was amazing too. It lived up to all of the hype. The NFL made a deal with Canon to “sponsor” the photographers that shoot the games. The front side has a Canon logo/ backside NFL logo. I didn’t particularly care for them last year because they were made of a dense material and it got hot…realll hot. But the new ones this year are cool. Light weight, better designed, and comfortable. Thank you Canon… not that my opinion really matters I guess… but thank you. Side note- I laugh when the Nikon photographers complain about having a Canon logo on them when they shoot… hehehe… I guess there are added benefits to shooting with and loving Canon gear.
It’s that time of year… I am getting ready to head over to Irving Stadium to work the first game of the last year of Cowboys stadium… The game should be incredible… last year’s game was great and this one should hold the same drama. What a great game to shoot. On top of that… Peter Read Miller is coming into town to shoot it and he is an amazing photographer. I love working with him. I am also looking forward to the amusing game of “hit the silly photographer with my pom-poms” played by the cheerleaders… Those girls… I swear… they kick you and then giggle about it with the other cheerleaders… I think it is discussed in the locker room which photographers they like and which ones they don’t and then punish the ones they don’t… (It will be a long season for me if I don’t make a good impression early on…) I wish I could smuggle flowers in or something…
Side note… I went out on Saturday in Dallas with a friend and we met a couple of nice ladies who tried to get us in this ridiculous dance club… and I got the VIP rope slammed down in my face… What a shot to the ego… I am now labeled “not one of the cool kids” WEAK… I knew I was a nerd, but I thought I was a cool nerd…
It probably didn’t help my case that I had flip-flops on but that’s how I roll… I think you are even cooler if you can be a badass and wear flip-flops out on a Saturday night… (I might be wrong on this one but I am not dressing up to hit $15 drink night at a stupid club…)
So my friend went in and I ventured on another bar and met some people and had fun… thankfully that bar accepted my flip-flops and winning smile…
This is the Lane family. Melissa and Bart are both models that I have worked with and Melissa is a long time friend. They are expecting their first child in 1 to 2 weeks. She asked me to shoot some pre-kiddo shots which I was delighted to do. I can’t wait for the kid to pop out so I can follow up and get some baby shots… ohhh and they decided not to know the sex of the child… how cool is that? Even I am dying to know…
